Elle Florence Lecocq #11 Duchess of Bainbridge

[MUALover]

To her credit, Elle likes to cook at home. If she cut down on buying crap, it'll save her a lot of money. The issue with her is that a lot of her videos are based on hauls and the image of her "aspirational" living. So if she didn't buy crap, nobody would watch her videos and hence not buy her scarves and pearls so it's a vicious cycle.

Vancouver real estate has increased by a lot in the last 7-8 years. If Elle had invested in a townhouse in Vancouver when she first moved there, she would have made $500,000 easily by now.

Most people cook at home, it is usually a healthier and more affordable option. It's not like she's some sort of a genius And her food looks unappetising to me.

Elle will never cut down on buying crap while she still has breath, because it’s an addiction and Ginette fully enables her.

Switching gears, her new haircut looks similar to Ginette’s now and gives her the “early retiree” vibe.

Omg... The hair + pastel v-neck + weird leather (?) jacket = 42-year old soccer mom

The smug expression, knowing you're the Duchess....

The pre-haircut photo is so unflattering and slightly creepy. I hate when influencers go crazy with the filtering; she looks like she's made of plastic and will melt upon UV exposure. A little bit too pulled in this photo, in my opinion.

I wonder if Ginette is living vicariously through Elle? I wonder if Ginette thinks Elle is all that and a bag of chips and wished she had someone treat her growing up the way she treats Elle?

OMG yes. I haven’t been keeping up with her at all but saw her pop up yesterday and was honestly creeped out by this photo. Lifeless, dead eyes. Looks very uncanny valley. Like a discount bin Real Doll lol. Also geez that hair is so terrible.

As if we needed more proof Elle reads here. Okay, Elle.

Right! I don’t know why people think heavy filtering is flattering. Geez, I’d rather see bumpy realistic skin than this. If she’s so unhappy with it in photos she needs to stop using a myriad of random Sephora skincare products and quit performing harsh chemical peels on herself!

All she needs is a simple consistent skincare routine with face wash, toner, moisturizer and an all mineral 50 spf sunscreen— all unscented. As well as vitamin C serum, retin A, along with an occasional gentle enzyme or lactic acid peel and annual visits to the dermatologist. She overdoes everything though and doesn’t believe in less is more.

Agree, those split ends are numerous in the “before”. She used to be good about getting it cut regularly until a few years ago way before covid. Her best hair years were right before and during the Joe era. IMO when she went from medium/medium long hair to strictly long is when she started looking frazzled and dragged down.

I couldn’t quite pinpoint it, but this is exactly how I felt and you put it into words

 

[boredstrom]

She just looks so stale and old compared to pre-joemageddon. She looks like she's been through hell (and she has, when you consider what matters to her) and that just makes all the paint and wax look even worse . . .

I'm seriously getting close to checking out on her. Theres not as much left to laugh at and so much more to just make you feel sad as you watch her try to cling on to her fantasies.

 

[MissDeverauxDarling]

I guess her mother is back in town? Jokes aside, what is with Elle's new use of slang? She's with "bestie" (shouldn't it be my bestie?) and in that other video the food was "bomb". It reminds me of a Karen trying to keep up with the kids. So cringeworthy, in my opinion. She wants to present herself as this epitome of urbane, cosmopolitan European chic but then uses terms like "bestie" and sounds like a teenager.

 

[MUALover]

Elle has been in Seattle for 1 year or so and her best friend is from Seattle? It can't be Canadian or British because of Covid and the borders are closed. Elle has a great relationship with food though. She doesn't stick to low carb diets or anything and she enjoys eating.

 

[Drasticactions]

As much as I doubt her brunch was with a best friend I guess I am happy that she seems to have a friend outside of Mr next. Or at least takes time off of tinder to be friends with someone who is not her mom or a romantic interest. I can't see Elle opening up or being vulnerable enough to have a real best friend. But hopefully she is learning that?

I'm shocked but it seems like growth to me? Can't be mad at her for that.

I agree, but I think she's very superficial when it comes to friendship just like she's superficial with everything else. I remember during her super brief time in FL she posted a heavily photoshopped pic of herself and Rick with another couple at the beach and the caption referred to the couple as their best friends. She's emotionally 13 or 14 years old, and an asshole.

 

[thecatlass]

Just to put things into perspective, her supposedly best friends in Vancouver were The Dolls™. Yes, the women she's not seen since her embarrassingly poor engagement party in Sept 2019. That hopefully tells you a lot about what best friend means to her. Even her car is her best friend.

Ok that made me spit a little water out. You're right too.

We were all assholes at 13 I might add, but we grew out of it . . . except when we're on this forum. We're total assholes to you Elle, we know, but who was right about your engagement? Us, or the people too nice to tell you it was a horrible idea?
